LOVE Slay. Best zone corner in the league. We don't run his system though.

Yeah he caused Brees fits when playing in Detroit.

I like Alontae Taylor though, think we may have something in him.

I like Taylor a lot as well. I'd still take a look at corner, but I expect Taylor to start next year.

This brings up a question on why the draft mockers say we need to draft a CB. Do they expect Roby to be a goner? We need depth, yes. Is Smoke ready to step up?

I think Roby is gone and we need depth. Also they don't like Taylor as much as we do. They're thinking we need to replace Adebo and we don't have the replacement yet.

What is Smoke's ceiling?

A lot of scouts seem to believe (before the ACL injury) he's a long-term project/developmental player.

Biggest knocks :

Below average range
Stiff in man coverage
Fundamentals need work (goes for highlight hit instead of wrapping up)
Mental lapses (4 career ejections for targeting)

I wish him well at camp but he's probably years away.

I'd draft another safety.

Could be a very good RB, TE, S, DL will all be a there to pick in the first. BPA is sounding VERY appealing to me.

Given all the personnel changes with both coaches and players this offseason do you see them making any major changes in their defensive approach scheme wise?
